Veteran defensive end Raheem Brock, who played the past eight seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, has signed with the Seahawks.

The club also announced two other moves first reported Sunday — adding defensive tackle Junior Siavii and running back Mike Robinson.

To make room on the roster, safety Jordan Babineaux, fullback Owen Schmitt and defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson have been released.

The Seahawks have not released running back Julius Jones, as was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, but have now reworked his contract and will keep him at a lower wage than his previous $2.45 million deal.

I’ll have more on that this afternoon.

Brock, 32, was not re-signed by the Colts this offseason. He went to training camp with Tennessee, but was released on the Titans’ cut to 53 on Saturday.

At 6-foot-4, 274 pounds, Brock figures to give the Seahawks some depth behind Chris Clemons at their “Leo” pass-rushing position. Nick Reed, the backup at that spot, was released on Saturday after agreeing to an injury settlement following minor surgery on his knee.

Brock has 26 1/2 career sacks, including 3 1/2 in each of the past two years in Indianapolis.

The club also made official the hiring of Pat Ruel as new offensive line coach, replacing Alex Gibbs, who retired on Saturday.

Additionally, the team has signed three players cut this weekend — cornerback Marcus Brown, defensive end James Wyche and linebacker Joe Pawelek — back to the practice squad.

The other players signed to the practice squad were former University of Arizona running back Chris Henry; Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson, a seventh-round draft pick of the Patriots; former South Carolina center Lemuel Jeanpierre, Michigan State defensive back Ross Weaver and Colorado wide receiver Patrick Williams.
